Martha, a coal miner's daughter, was born 2/22/1919, in Eldorado, IL to John and Bessie Stone and raised by her step-mother, Minnie after Bessie's death. Martha attended a business school in St. Louis MO and worked for Southwest Bell Telephone as a secretary until she joined the US Coast Guard in Sept. 16, 1943. She trained in the Coast Guard school for the SPARS and served as a Yeoman 2c in WWII, stationed in West Palm Beach and also Tampa, FL. Honorably discharged Nov. 30, 1945. She then married Warren Lum Dec. 12, 1945. She went with Warren to Boston while he was a student at Northeastern University.
Martha and Warren both worked at Crouse Hinds after moving to Syracuse. We bought a small house on Maurice Ave. and Donald was Born. We then moved to Memphis, NY where Richard and John were born. Martha and I joined the Memphis Baptist Church. We moved to Warners, where the boys all graduated from West Genesee where Martha worked as a secretary. All three sons graduated from college. Martha and I moved back to Cincinnatus after retiring and wintered in Vero Beach, FL enjoying fishing and friends. We had a good life of 63 years of Marriage, thanks to our Lord.
